 Decorative Borders

I love the look of black and white cards! They are so fresh and clean looking!

I left off a sentiment so I could use this card for any occasion. It's always handy to have some blank cards on hand! 

Directions:

Cut a piece of Thick Basic White Card Stock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4.

Cut a piece of Basic Black C/S to 5 1/2" x 3 3/4". Emboss this layer using the Painted 3D Embossing Folder and attach to the card base using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Cut a piece of the Textured 12 x 12 Shimmer Paper to 1" x 5 1/2" and attach to the Basic Black layer. Using a little piece of the Shimmer Paper adds so much to the card!

Die cut a Basic White label using the Scalloped Contours Dies.

Using Memento Black Ink, stamp the floral image onto the Scalloped label. Stamp one time, then flip the stamp and stamp again so the images are back to back.

Wrap some Black And White Gingham Ribbon around this layer and attach to the card base using Dimensionals. 

Die cut a small Basic White C/S circle and a Basic Black C/S scalloped circle from the Layering Circles Dies. 

Stamp the flower onto the Basic White circle using Memento Black Ink then layer it onto the Basic Black scalloped circle and attach to the card using a Dimensional. Add a few Rhinestones to finish off the card.

I hope you have enjoyed todays card and that I have inspired you to try and make one for yourself!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

All Occasion Card

 All Occasion Card

This card was quick and easy to put together. I like having some cards on hand that say "For You". You can use them for a birthdays, thinking of you, anniversaries and more. 

Directions:

I started with a card base of Smoky Slate Card Stock measuring 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2". 

Emboss the card front using the Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder.

Cut off 1/4" from the right hand side of the card base front. (With the card open, cut from the bottom up to the 5 1/2" score line).

Punch or die cut (3) 1 3/4" circles from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper and 1 from Basic White Card Stock. 

Stamp the trees from the Peaceful Cabin Stamp Set onto the Basic White C/S circle using Smoky Slate Ink and a sentiment over top of the trees using Memento Black Ink.

Arrange circles onto the card front before attaching to be sure of the spacing. The 3 DSP circles are glued down using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue and the Basic White C/S circle is attached using Dimensionals. Turn the card over and trim off the excess. 

I added a small 1/2" x 5 1/2" strip of the Pattern Party DSP to the inside of the card so that it shows when the card is closed.

Add a Matte Black Dot to the Basic White C/S circle. 

I also designed this one in Melon Mambo Card Stock. I used the Free As A Bird Stamp Set, Tasteful Textures Embossing Folder and Stampin' Blends.

Mother's Day Cards

 Mother's Day Cards

Mother's Day is fast approaching. Here are a few cards I made that not only celebrate Mom but also showcase some new products that Stampin' Up! will be releasing on May 4th, 2021 in their new Annual Catalogue!

For this card I used a New 2021-2022 In-Color called Fresh Freesia. I didn't have any matching ribbon so I used a Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend and coloured some White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to match. I stamped the flower first using Fresh Freesia Ink, then I embossed the Basic White panel using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder. I added a small detailed butterfly from Brilliant Wings Dies, some Rhinestones and a tiny bit of Silver Glimmer Paper on the sentiment. The stamp sets are Flowering Blooms and Timeless Tulips for the sentiment.

For this card I added a silver bow from the new Simply Elegant Trim, a Silver Glimmer strip on the sentiment and a Vellum butterfly. 

This card uses Soft Succulents Card Stock and Ink, a bow from Forever Greenery Trim Combo, sentiment from Quite Curvy and a Silver Foil detailed butterfly.

I hope you like todays card!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
